Remote Control
Chapter 2
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR)
signals to:
•
Control the receiver’s TV1 menus
for the nearby TV in Dual Mode.
•
Control the satellite TV receiver in
Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances
(usually 40 feet or less) and cannot
penetrate walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
directly at the receiver, with no objects
blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals
to control the TV receiver and other
devices it is programmed to operate.
This remote control is identified by the
green number 1 at the bottom of the
remote control.
Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro
(radio-frequency) signals to:
•
Control TV2 menus for the remote
TV(s) in Dual Mode.
•
Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
UHF Pro signals can travel relatively
long distances and go through walls
and other solid objects.
To use Remote Control 2 to control
the receiver, you must connect the
remote control antenna to the receiver
back panel (see page 17).
Remote Control 2 still uses IR signals
to operate other devices programmed
into the remote control. You must
point the remote control directly at
these other devices, with no objects
blocking the line of sight.
This remote control is identified by the
blue number 2 at the bottom of the
remote control.
